The Michigan Wolverines secured a 17-10 win over the Oklahoma Sooners on September 12, 2026, moving the team to a 2-0 record. Quarterback Bryce Underwood led the effort, highlighted by a 38-yard rushing touchdown that gave the Wolverines an early lead. The defense sustained pressure throughout the contest, ultimately sealing the result with a sack of Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer. This performance followed a narrow one-point victory against Western Michigan in the season opener, which had drawn criticism regarding the team's overall effectiveness.
